So this week I went with @winslowdynasty to see an independent film, Forks Over Knives. I have to admit, going into it, I was a little closed minded because I feel I already have a balance healthy diet, based on years of reading and tinkering. I’ve even changed the diets of friends and family based on my found facts. So, I figured this would e another “health craze” movie telling me what I should “change” now…

However, by the end of the movie I think I was convinced! Now, whether I completely switch over remains to be seen, however, the argument is quite compelling! Numbers don’t lie! And with the epidemic of bad health that we are experiencing in this country, we should definitely be reconsidering our dietary factors! I encourage everyone to check it out in a town near you!

“FORKS OVER KNIVES examines the profound claim that most, if not all, of the so-called “diseases of affluence” that afflict us can be controlled, or even reversed, by rejecting our present menu of animal-based and processed foods. The major storyline in the film traces the personal journeys of a pair of pioneering yet under-appreciated researchers, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn. […]

The idea of food as medicine is put to the test. Throughout the film, cameras follow “reality patients” who have chronic conditions from heart disease to diabetes. Doctors teach these patients how to adopt a whole foods plant-based diet as the primary approach to treat their ailments—while the challenges and triumphs of their journeys are revealed.”
